FTC Revises Consumer Brochures

Posted: April 6, 2014

Resources available to help funeral professionals comply with the Funeral Rule

The Federal Trade Commission has revised two brochures to help consumers make funeral choices either in advance or at time of need. "Paying Final Respects" summarizes consumer rights under the FTC's Funeral Rule. "Shopping for Funeral Services" provides a detailed guide to various kinds of funeral goods and services and includes a pricing checklist, glossary and contact information for national organizations. The consumer brochures are available in English and Spanish. The FTC also has compliance information for funeral service professionals, available at www.business.ftc.gov/funerals. Printed copies of the consumer brochures and compliance brochure for funeral professionals can be ordered at no cost from the FTC website.
